chapter 58
58. Almost died
What happened? What’s going on? I don’t know. We can’t predict what the hell is going on.
Various questions that follow one after another. So, the four warriors who gathered at the cafe started discussing the questions they felt each day.
“Michaela. What are the demon kings doing? It’s been very sunny since morning, isn’t it?”
“Did Cellapy look like that? Even if Ashu says yes, she seems to have a lot of tension even with El, who doesn’t smile. Didn’t the meta look like that too?”
“Yes. Even Mar and Sitri laughed, hee-hee, and laughed alone.”
Unlike Astaroth, Marmar and Sitri pay close attention to the eyes of others.
To think that those two demon lords suddenly laughed while walking down the street, not caring whether others saw them or not. It was quite a shock to the warriors who learned more about the demon lords.
Are you planning on doing something strange? No. It may have already been decorated and even acted upon. So like that hehehehe! Lol! Aren’t you laughing
“… The most important thing is different.”
And Michaela, who had been silent until now, tapped her table and continued her words.
“I can’t see Sir Lethe. All day today.”
Who can’t see? Is it Lethe? At Michaela’s words, the rest of the warriors hurriedly look back on their day. And soon, she realizes she was right.
“Uh… Is that so? Wait for a sec. Have you ever been like this?”
“I will. Even if there was no training, senior often went around the academy and showed her face.”
“Even when I remembered, I couldn’t see him.”
According to Michaela’s subsequent words, she said that she did not attend the training she was originally supposed to do today. It was because of her personal circumstances, but it was strange no matter how you look at it.
“As far as I know, Senior Lethe schedules her training exactly according to her own schedule.”
“Right. So no matter where she goes, she never misses a lecture or training.”
“Last time, too.”
Lethe is such a person. By the way, she said that the person suddenly did not come to the lecture today due to personal circumstances and is not talking about it?
I think there’s something. The four warriors came up with that idea almost simultaneously.
By the way, something seems to be happening, but I don’t know what it is. If it’s an event that can stop the war hero from moving, isn’t it normal for it to be very loud?
“Oh Hong Hong! Uh! Mikada!”
“Mikaah!”
Demon kings enter the cafe today without fail. The difference is that Astaroth is not the only one with high tension today. Marmar and Sitri, as well as L, are high-tension.
Seeing her like that, Meta, who used to hang out with L, asked back, “Is this really El?”
“Here you are! My friends!!”
“….”
It’s also strange. Although it is called Astaroth, it is the first time I have seen such a bright and cheerful figure. What’s there my friends? No matter how close they were, Astaroth had never used a word like that.
I pretended not to know, but warriors are not warriors for nothing. I know that the demon kings are bit by bit wary of them without knowing it.
And the reason is probably related to Lethe. Perhaps they were secretly setting up a defense line to see if they would show interest in Lethe.
But today, that wariness disappeared like snow melting. It is felt. Now, nothing to protect something from themselves has been conveyed.
As if they had caught it in their hands and no longer had to worry about it.
‘Anyway….’
‘As expected. Is there something?’
‘Yes. It’s unconditional.’
‘There is.’
The warriors exchanged glances with each other, convinced that there was something there.
And after a while, when the demon lords left the cafe again, the warriors also quietly stood up from their seats and started heading somewhere.
The demon lords are strange. And Lethe is nowhere to be seen. In this case, it was only natural to first find Lethe and ask why.
The first place the warriors arrived was, of course, where Lethe’s accommodation was located.
“It was here, right?”
“Yes. Right here.”
Mikaela is the only one who has ever been to Lete’s inn. Thanks to her, the other women were able to reach right in front of Lethe’s room without difficulty.
“How do you feel apart?”
“No. It’s not like the demon lords followed me.”
“I don’t feel any magic behind me.”
“Me too.”
After checking several times, Michaela cautiously knocked on Lethe’s door.
Smart-
“Instructor Lethe? This is Michaela.”
No answer came back. She waited a moment before Michaela knocked again.
“Sir Lethe? Are you inside?”
As expected, silence. At that, Haniel says, ‘Aren’t you inside?’ As she tries to take her luck.
I wondered if I could feel a presence on the other side of the door, and then the door opened with a click.
“… What. Were you guys?”
The voice is, yes. Let’s he is right However, the warriors who saw his face froze as it was.
“Sir Lethe?”
“Seo, senior?”
“What?”
“Eh?”
Is that really the lete? The man who is called the war hero of the empire, the demon crusher, and the strongest human? Looking at it now, it seems like I’m about to collapse and die right now?
“… Wait for a sec. Perhaps you didn’t bring the demon kings with you.”
Fear and vigilance dwell in Lethe’s eyes. Thanks to this, the warriors were astonished once again.
I can’t believe the empire’s great war hero looked like that. It is nonsense.
Recalling the testimonies of the participants, Lete never showed any sign of fear. He was told that he acted confidently on any battlefield, confident of victory.
No one considered that an exaggeration. In fact, there is power to defeat whoever comes, so why show fear?
“Something, Sir Lethe. What happened with the demon lords?!”
So that kind of reaction was shocking to Mikaela, as well as to Haniel, Sellafi, and Meta.
And that shock soon became suspicious, and the moment he was about to head to the demon lords—
“What happened? What’s going on… sh*t. Okay. Something happened.”
Lethe tried to bring the warriors inside, saying that he couldn’t leave them outside. Then I was like, ‘Oh, wait a minute. Damn it,’ he muttered, then disappeared through the door with a look of urgency.
And for a short while, from inside the room, I heard the sound of something being hurriedly removed from the room.
“Hey, Sir Lethe? Should I help?”
“No! Never! Don’t come in!”
An incredibly urgent voice. At that, Michaela looked at the other warriors and said, ‘What the hell is going on?’ She had to tilt her head.
Of course, I couldn’t tell you the answer just because there were three warriors, so I had to just shrug my shoulders.
“… Come in.”
The room owner finally gave permission, and the warriors moved inside.
Once you take a look at it, it looks like a normal room, but it feels strangely messy here and there.
Above all, the strange smell and warm heat that kept wafting around my nose from a while ago—
“Didn’t I tell you that I am taking a break from my lecture today?”
“Yes. But Lord Lethe never took a break.”
“It’s because sometimes I want to play without work. Nothing to worry about.”
I think anyone would be worried by the complexion. The words lingered around the mouths of the warriors.
After that, the conversation between the war hero and the warriors continued. However, I couldn’t hear the exact answer to why he had become like that.
*
‘f*ck. I almost died.’
After seeing off the warriors, Lethe hurriedly poured a glass of cold water down his throat.
I’m not joking or joking, I almost died. Still, the name is a war hero, the strongest on the human side, and the Demon Crusher. Didn’t you have a great nickname?
Even during the war, he had fought against several demon lords, so he thought that he would be able to survive even if he fought four demon lords in bed.
But that was an obvious misjudgment. It was foolish confidence.
Lethe risked her life to learn a great lesson. If he’s going to deal with the demon king, he has to deal with only one of them. If you receive a pincer attack, you will be a war hero and you will be blessed that day!
‘How much did you lose… These, these crazy demon lords.’
After suffering until dawn, I finally fell asleep. And I barely woke up in the morning and made a call. Today, I can never give a lecture, so please take care of it yourself.
After that, I fell asleep again as if I had passed out, and then the warriors came and woke me up.
Lethe entered the bathroom to wash up, and sighed.
His skin and bones are in contact with each other. Not joking, really. Like a guy who starved for a few days, he was exhausted, his skin was dry and twisted, and his eyes were thick with dark circles.
Wow. It’s a big deal. I have no desire to deal with this again. I think it’s better to just run away than to fight those four demon lords again.
For that moment, Lethe sincerely wanted to get rid of the academy and everything and hide somewhere.
Smart!―
A knocking sound as soon as you get out of the shower.
Awkward!!
So Lethe fainted and hurriedly checked the signs beyond the door.
Are they guys?! Are you going to rush to do it tonight too?! Please. Hey guys. I die
“Lete? Are you inside?”
I’m glad. Really, I was very fortunate. It wasn’t demon lords who were eager to devour them, but the elf who was worried about not showing up for today’s lecture.
“Something strange has happened, Lethe! Demon lords, demon lords are suddenly so nice to me!”
“….”
All of that is because of my sacrifice. I would have died instead. Oh my god.
